i posted threads that were talked AROUND like it was a chat room. never answering my orginal question. i know u know each other, but i don't give a. we are looking for experience not criticism. don't say we we are wrong, tell u what to can do better. dont use the threads about how u met on trail days. i don't care. pm each other. when the end off the thread, has nothing to do with the first post, there is a problem.
this isn't about all of yous (South Jersey word for YOU ALL). many poeple help calm our fears. my fear is not the woods, but being away that long, its not easy(children, grand kids and friends). immature answers to a question do not help this, but all in all, im hiking my own hike. but, there are certian posts i look at all the time;l. wolf. frolick dinos, cuffs, srg rock. attroll, smile, take-a-knee and others. take example from them. u hit 15,000, keep it going.
